the soyo kt33 should have a 1/5th PCI divider which should start at about 166MHz or so. did u up the vcore at all? sounds very odd that it will only go 132. try upping the vcore little bits at a time and see if it helps. your temperatures may have come into play already also. what heatsinc and fan combo do u have?

if your fsb only goes to 132, then there must be a jumper for 100/133 fsb. reset the multiplier to auto or 10.5 in bios, then reset the jumper to 133. it should post normal, then you should have options higher then 132 fsb. then you can lower the multiplier and raise the fsb as far as your RAM will go...

SLK 800 with an enermax adjustable fan. I tried to use an expensive quite Panaflow fan on the CPU but the board would not boot with the low rpm fan on it(CPU 1 header). Auto shutdown 8 seconds into the boot sequence.

I forgot to mention that I lowered the voltage to 1.6
Temps went down from 39-40 to 36C.

I tried upping the fsb and couldn't boot into windows. I started much too high and worked down. That is quite backwards. Now that W2K is working ok I may try upping a cycle at a time.
How about trying a 136 fsb.

Well, I got the Raid 0 array set up on two IBM 30 gig drives. I couldnt get QIII to work on the other setup so the first thing I did after installing the Parhelia drivers was to install QIII. I could play it quite nicely but the task bar went to shreds when I exited the game. I tried backing down the OC but still had issues. So, I am running it at 133 x 10.5 and the game is so smooth. As soon as I install the onboard stuff, USB, Cmedia Sound, Lan . . . . QIII locks at a white screen trying to start.

Matrox calls it an IRQ conflict. I am unable to change the IRQ settings in W2K (acpi). I will try Matrox support this week and see if they can help. I really like the display with this card but if I can not get Q3 to work I may rma it or send it back to New Egg.

I couldn't find any Ti4600 or any dual Ti4200 cards locally. None on the shelf. I thought it was the dock strikes but found out that nVidia wasn't supplying any more "old" chips.

I thought I had downloaded all the lates drivers before I bought the Matrox Parhelia.
Got DirectX8.1b
Matrox Beta 1.2
.Net 1.1 (why it needs this I dont know)

I was behind on the via drivers.
4 in 1 4.43

Still the white screen lock. I talked with Matrox today and they refered me to their "Forum". How convienient. . . . I see good advice there but it seems that Matrox wants to remain isolated from the lone customer.
